The fact that we made it to Greece is amazing. We
never would have thought to plan a trip to Greece but we are so happy that we
did. The idea all started in Berlin when we met a girl from Canadia told
us that we HAVE to go to the Pink Palace in Corfu, Greece. What?
Where? Greece? Who goes to Greece? She convinced us that if
were going to Italy that we should definitely make a side trip to Corfu, The
Pink Palace.
Well, we pretty much decided that the next two weeks would be
planned around making it to the Pink Palace. After an eight hour overnight
trip down to Brindisi, Italy, we got on a ferry that took us another eight hours
to make it from the bottom tip of Italy to the island of Corfu. Refer to
the map at the European Adventure page. By
the time we got to Corfu, we were exhausted. It was about 7pm when the bus
picked us up from the port and drove us to the Pink Palace. We drove for
about 20 minutes thinking "this better be good." The second we
made it over the cliff and could see where we were headed, we were happy
campers. This place looked unbelievable.
So, on seeing where were going to stay for the next four days, all of our nerves were settled and we were ready for a first night of quiet relaxation after about 20 hours of straight travel. Almost quiet.
